This is one of my favorite movies- a crime drama from 1931, the vehicle that made Edward G. Robinson a star- so I was thrilled to find a first-edition of the book it was based on in the used book store for just $2!

Of course I went straight to the final sentence- and it was just what I wanted it to be!

I found a copy of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off for five dollars at the check out counter of the grocery store, and Mona and I watched it this afternoon.

It’s one of my favorites.

In a typical Teen Comedy™, the parents are away and the kids respond by breaking into the liquor cabinet, throwing a raucous party, and shouting “Woo!” frequently. What Ferris does, though, is have a nice meal, attend a ball game, visit a museum, and watch a parade.
